Breastfeeding is Best for Babies

Breastfeeding is best for healthy full term infants as it provides many benefits not delivered via infant formula feeding. It is important when breastfeeding or in preparation to breastfeed that you maintain a healthy, well balanced diet. The use of a combination of breastfeeding and infant formula feeding may reduce the supply of breastmilk, which may be difficult to reverse. Prior to taking the decision to infant formula feed you should consider the social and financial implications and the health hazards of unnecessary or improper use of infant formula.

BENEFITS OF GOAT'S MILK FORMULA

Goats Milk Formula – The Naturally Smarter Choice

Goat’s milk is a rich source of nutrients and it has a unique composition that differs from that of cow’s milk. The compositional uniqueness of goat’s milk lies in its naturally high levels of important vitamins and minerals and many other substances that are naturally present in goat’s milk like prebiotic oligosaccharides.

Goat’s milk formula is a safe alternative feeding choice to other dairy based formulas.

The benefits of goat’s milk

Naturally high in vitamins and minerals

Natural source of vitamin A for vision and sight

Natural source of magnesium for development and growth
(33% more than standard cow’s milk)*

Natural source of vitamin C for development and growth

The benefits of goat’s milk

Goat’s milk contains up to 6x the prebiotic oligos of standard cow’s milk*.

Digestion

Almost half of mums who have children between 12-24 months of age have changed milk drinks to try to address their child’s digestive issues. Their main priority is to find infant formulas with prebiotics or probiotics. Prebiotics are a non-digestible food ingredient that, through its metabolisation by microorganisms in the gut, brings about specific changes in the composition and/or activity of the gut microbiota which promote host health and wellbeing.

Studies have also found that goat’s milk formula naturally contains 250-300mg/L oligosaccharides, which represents up to six times the concentration of prebiotic oligosaccharides than in standard cow’s milk and cow’s milk formula to assist in the digestion process*.

Protein

The milk composition of major proteins differ somewhat between goat and cow milk. Goat’s milk infant formula has lower levels of αs1-CN and higher levels of β-CN than standard cow’s milk protein and therefore its casein profile is closer to human milk. αs1-CN has been suggested to be the cause of many people being unable to digest regular cow’s milk.
